alleryIn tomato, the ovules are arranged on the central axis of a multi-loculed ovary. This placentation is:
AMarginal placentation (in pea, single locule)
BParietal placentation (mustard, on inner wall)
CAxile placentation (tomato, multi-loculed)
DBasal placentation (sunflower, single ovule)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Axile placentation (tomato, multi-loculed)
In tomato, the ovary is divided into multiple LOCULES by septa, and ovules attach to the central axis.
This is AXILE placentation.
Marginal (pea) has single locule
parietal (mustard) on wall
basal (sunflower) single ovule at base.
